Since the car was running fine before you worked on it, I think that whatever you did caused the problem. So it is highly likely that there is a problem with the cam gear alignment.

I too have been there. 38 years and at least once a week. My favorite one was a very cute young female. She looked up at me with her brown eyes and said, "But Rob, it can't be looping. I tested it." To which I replied, "But Vicky, a loop can be data driven too." Her face took on that Aha moment, and she turned and ran from the room.
